    I am thinking of applying for anpost credit card.

    I understand they are Mastercard backed by Avantcard.

    I would be most grateful if anyone who has an anpost credit card could share their experiences.

    Do they work with google pay?

    Do you have to have a current account with anpost to have a credit card with them?

    Thanks.

    Have a credit card with them, only applied for it to transfer a balance over to it, @ 0% interest for 15 months....

    Have never used it to make purchases

    You don't need any other account with an post

    Yes it's avantmoney

    The physical card you get is a MasterCard with anpost money, like the one you see on their website.....

    I know that Avant don't do Google Pay but I can't see any mention of Google Pay on the An Post website for their credit card. Does anyone know if they support it?


    I know there are workarounds such as Curve but just wondering if An Post support it directly.


    Thanks

    Google Pay says (at the foot of Participating Banks/Ireland) that: 'your bank decides if it's cards work with Google Pay.'

    And, just in case you don't get the message..... 'If your bank isn't listed or your card can't be set up for mobile payments, call the phone number on the back of your card to offer your bank feedback.'

    Yes, an An Post credit card. It was about 3 years ago so can’t remember for sure but it didn’t seem excessively long to me.

    Has anyone successfully rented a car in the USA with an post credit card? Did it authorize ok when they swiped it at the desk? ( no chip n pin)

    I was in Iceland recently and it would not authorize on the petrol pumps. Kept declining even with the pin. BOI debit card worked flawlessly.
